Welcome, Ichi!

2
Character icon
Ichika

Pardon the intrusion.

3
Character icon
Saki

Come on in♪

Hehe. I'm so happy about you staying over.

4
Character icon
Ichika

Hehe. I'm a little excited since I've never done a songwriting camp before.

5
Character icon
Saki

Me too! It's too bad that Shiho and Hona can't come...

6
Character icon
Saki

But we just gotta do our best to knock their socks off by writing an amazing song!

7
Character icon
Ichika

Yeah, let's do that!

Saki's Room

Character icon
Saki

Now, let's begin our inaugural songwriting camp♪

9
Character icon
Ichika

Hehe. You're making it sound so extravagant. It's just the two of us, remember?

10
Character icon
Saki

Hey, we gotta hype ourselves up.

Anyway, let's start listening to the chord progressions we each came up with!

11
Character icon
Saki

Okay, Ichi!

I sent my ideas over to your phone.

12
Character icon
Ichika

Thanks.

I'll send you mine now.

13
Character icon
Saki

This is so cool!

I can't wait to hear what you came up with.

14
Character icon
Saki

I spent a lot of time coming up with mine, so hurry! You gotta listen to them!

15
Character icon
Ichika

Alright. Then, why don't we start by listening to each other's stuff?

16
Character icon
Saki

Okay!

17
Character icon
Saki

Whoa... Ichi, this is so good!

They're so straightforward and powerful...

I bet we can turn this into a really amazing song!

18
Character icon
Ichika

Y-You think so?

But I'm glad you're saying that.

19
Character icon
Ichika

My hope for this song is that it'll help remind everyone about those who matter most to them and reinforce those bonds.

20
Character icon
Saki

Really...?!

I like it since it's got you written all over it, Ichi.

21
Character icon
Ichika

Thank goodness...! I liked yours a lot too, Saki. It's really cheerful, but a little sad at times.

22
Character icon
Saki

Hehe. So, mine's about being able to move forward regardless of any doubt or pain you might be feeling.

23
Character icon
Ichika

Hehe. Which is a nice reflection of your personality.

24
Character icon
Ichika

Now I really want to come up with a melody for this song...

25
Character icon
Saki

Me too! So, let's get started!

26
Character icon
Ichika

Okay.

But being in the same room like this might make things a bit awkward...

27
Character icon
Ichika

So, can I use the living room?

I feel like we're going to distract each other if we're sitting right next to each other like this.

28
Character icon
Saki

Oh, right...

That's too bad since you went to the trouble of coming over, but I guess we don't have a choice...!

29
Character icon
Saki

Anyway, let's meet back up once we've both finished our songs!

30
Character icon
Ichika

Okay.

See you in a bit.

31
Character icon
Saki

See you!

And let's do our best, Ichi♪

32
Character icon
Saki

Alright...!

I've gotta do my best to come up with a really great melody!

33
Character icon
Saki

(Hehe. This chord progression sounds so much like something Ichi would come up with...)

34
Character icon
Saki

(A song to remind people about who matters most to them, and those bonds, huh...?)

35
Character icon
Saki

(Based on my own feelings and this chord progression...)

Two hours later
36
Character icon
Saki

Phew...

37
Character icon
Saki

I think it's turning out pretty well!

38
Character icon
Saki

It's a little rough around the edges, but the basic idea's there. I can show it to Ichi once I brush it up just a...

39
Character icon
Saki

Huh? Who could that be? Did we get a delivery?

40
Character icon
Saki

Coming!

41
Character icon
Saki

What?! Shiho?! Hona?!

42
Character icon
Ichika

What are you two doing here?

43
Character icon
Honami

Hehe. We wanted to do something for you both since you're working so hard.

44
Character icon
Honami

So, Shiho and I decided to bring over some gifts.

45
Character icon
Shiho

It isn't much, but I stopped by the convenience store and grabbed some snacks for you two.

46
Character icon
Shiho

Here, take a look.

47
Character icon
Saki

Oh, potato chips and chocolate cookies... Wait, there's more!

48
Character icon
Saki

Oh, Ichi!

These say they're yakisoba bun flavored!

49
Character icon
Ichika

Look at that...

I didn't know they made these kinds of snacks.

50
Character icon
Shiho

I just happened to come across them.

Let us know how they taste.

51
Character icon
Ichika

Thanks, Shiho.

52
Character icon
Honami

And I made some seafood curry. I was sort of wondering if you had a chance to eat.

53
Character icon
Saki

*Gasp*

We totally forgot about dinner!

54
Character icon
Ichika

Yeah. We were so focused on songwriting.

55
Character icon
Honami

Hehe. That sort of seems normal when it comes to writing songs.

56
Character icon
Honami

In any case, I'm glad we brought these over.

57
Character icon
Saki

Hehe♪ Thanks, you two!

58
Character icon
Saki

Oh, I know!

Why don't you both stay and eat?!

59
Character icon
Saki

Since we're all here, we should have dinner together!

60
Character icon
Saki

Right, Ichi?!

61
Character icon
Ichika

Yeah. If you both have time, would you be willing to stay?

62
Character icon
Shiho

Then, wanna stay for dinner?

63
Character icon
Honami

Hehe. Okay.

Thank you for having us.

64
Character icon
Shiho

Mmm... This curry's really good.

65
Character icon
Saki

You're such an amazing cook, Hona!

Also, I love how this is loaded with veggies! It's so filling!

66
Character icon
Ichika

Come to think of it, Saki, the curry your family makes always had a lot of vegetables in it.

67
Character icon
Saki

Yeah! It tastes like we made it♪

68
Character icon
Shiho

Except not since the Mochizukis did.

69
Character icon
Honami

Hehe. I actually made this curry with the one your family makes in mind, Saki.

70
Character icon
Honami

Also, I know that you like your curry bold, Ichika, so I decided to put in some grated apples.

71
Character icon
Ichika

Wait, really?

72
Character icon
Shiho

I didn't know that...

That's really thoughtful of you.

73
Character icon
Saki

Thanks so much!

I feel energized already!

74
Character icon
Honami

Oh, stop.

75
Character icon
Ichika

But it's true. This is just what we needed. I feel like we'll be able to come up with a really good song now.

76
Character icon
Ichika

Also, Shiho, we'll have the snacks you brought while we do.

77
Character icon
Shiho

Okay, good luck.
